Gethin Jenkins has called for those in charge of Welsh rugby to do more to prevent the player-drain to clubs in England and France, claiming the best players are being forced to leave the regions.

The 32-year-old prop will return to Cardiff Blues this summer after a year spent at Toulon where he has struggled to settle in and secure a starting spot among a squad packed with international players.

"I just hope something gets sorted out that will benefit players in Wales," Jenkins told Wales Online. "At the moment they are being forced to leave. It's all right paying off the Millennium Stadium debt, but if players are leaving then you have no product."

The latest Welsh player to be linked with a move out of the country is George North with Northampton reported to have made an offer for the wing. North has a year left on his contract and the Scarlets have said they do not want him to leave but it is unclear whether they have the money to keep hold of him.

Jenkins, meanwhile, is simply looking forward to getting back to playing regular rugby with a bid to prolong his career to the 2015 World Cup by returning to Cardiff. "I am glad I went to Toulon because of the experience it has been, and I have enjoyed it, even though the rugby has not worked out the way I would have liked," he said. "But I am happy to be coming back to the Blues and glad they showed some faith in me.

"It depends on how the body goes, but playing at the 2015 World Cup … that's probably still my longer-term aim."
